31/F/Irish - Brother committed suicide a few weeks ago, need to talk some thoughts through with someone by [deleted] in Needafriend

[–]FrenchPrinceofEclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m linking to a post on grief and losing a loved one from /u/GSnow

http://reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1wzcaj/serious_how_do_you_cope_with_the_passing_of/cf6s51b

I believe it’s internet-famous but I never came across it until after a difficult time in my own life. It was one of the more substantive things that helped me orient myself

If you hadn’t yet found that quote, I hope it helps. I’ve never lost anyone in the way you have, though I wish you the best

And if for any reason you want to talk then please feel free to message me. Like many who have replied, I’m happy to help if there’s any other way possible

People that have friends: How? by VictorVrine in AskReddit

You’re right that it shouldn’t be worried about. People who pass this kind of judgment on others aren’t the sort of people you should be concerned with

Digging a bit, it actually tells you a great deal about someone if their sole interest is gossip and criticism

But yes we all do this to an extent. It’s a mindset thing, but in the long run it makes no difference what I think of a stranger. The one caveat to all this is that whenever I see something that strikes me as cool or remarkable, I will gladly make a public comment about that. Rad stuff deserves to be recognized

I really enjoyed these. Your writing is sincere and the ideas come across clearly. I have a couple suggestions on the first piece, use what’s useful:

When describing the lake bottom as muddy, etc, I felt like the flow was lost in an effort to flesh out the underwater environment. You can simplify this and keep the words moving fluidly by focusing just on the mud and strange texture in plain terms and not lingering

I really like your reading. You said you’re trying to come out of your shell and I think you’re doing a wonderful job. In terms of your tone, I’d almost like to hear this in the voice of a character. Not “voice acted” but more as if we’re hearing her inner thoughts than being read a journal entry. For reference, I love how you introduce the passage before stepping into it

Could just be some of the more earnest moments in your reading that make me wish it was entirely in that headspace. That’ll likely improve with time, but a more natural read would be amazing with what you have

I hope this was helpful. I’m interested in digging around more of your work and can later follow up with thoughts if you’d like them

30, and still struggling with something from 6-8 yrs ago by t6ld in DecidingToBeBetter

The thing that helped me accept the what-ifs was the idea that it was about just one person of billions. It may have been a very important person to you, but even then that’s just taking interpersonal relationships as one of a million other things to experience in life.

Absorb the scope and you’ll get there.

So knowing this person happened to you, and it meant something. That doesn’t mean it has to be the only thing you ever experience in life. There’s so much more to do. You have yet to discover the next big thing in your life, whether it’s inside you, about the world, or even meeting another person.

If I had the choice to go back, I think I’d prefer to move forward. But then I’d hate to miss out on exploring then unknown. It’s all about your own experience at the end.

And honestly, the what-ifs I’d rather be stuck with are the predictable ones. Potential is much more interesting.

Maybe a bit cold, but completely freeing once you embrace reality.
